●Head Tension Adjustment
The Head Tension Adjustment parameter regulates the fol-
lowing two adjustments for the PD-100 and PD-120. Press
[SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F4 (OPTION)] and the setting page
will appear.
* The setting page for this setting will appear only if the Trigger
Type (p. 108) is set to “10A” or “12A” for trigger number 2
(SNARE) and trigger number 10 (RIDE).

Adjust the head to an even tension

This setting allows the strike location to be accurately detect-
ed. For the procedure refer to p. 31.

Adjust the tension of the head

Adjusting the Head Tension Adjustment value to the stan-
dard value of “Normal” will provide an average head ten-
sion. If you wish to loosen this, select “Loose.” To tighten it,
select “Tight.” Then refer to the procedure of p. 32. and
adjust the tension.
* Unlike tuning an acoustic drum, this setting will not affect the
pitch. It affects only the tension of the head. But this is VERY
important to achieve the best results for positional sensing, and
to make sure that the head tension is even. For tuning the pitch
of the sound, refer to p. 82.
Parameters
Head Tension Adjustment: Loose, Normal, Tight
●Rim Sensitivity
When a PD-120 is used with trigger number 2 (SNARE), you
can adjust the sensitivity of the rim. Higher settings will
increase the sensitivity of the rim. With a setting of Off, only
the head will sound.
Procedure
1. Set the trigger type to “12A.”
For this setting, refer to p. 108.
2. Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F4 (OPTION)].
The “TRIGGER OPTION” page will appear.
3. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Rim Sensitivity.”
4. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.
Parameters
Rim Sensitivity: Off, 1–15
* Increasing the value excessively may cause the rim instrument
to sound as well when the head is struck.
